Definitions

  • the invention concerns a target comprising at least one dummy depicting at least one part of the human body.
  • EP 2 040 025 A1 A target of the known art is disclosed in EP 2 040 025 A1 .
  • targets in form of a human silhouette are usually made of metal or cardboard and move on tracks or attached to wires through a simple scenario of a simulated crime scene. In the process, it is important for the sniper not to permit a distraction by the multitude of impressions from the simulated situation and to lock on and hit the target in a very short time.
  • the silhouette depicting a human is used to train how the silhouette of the simulated target person has been hit since in a real situation, the task of a sniper can change within fractions of a second.
  • the abovementioned dummies have the disadvantage, that they are less suitable for the initially mentioned training situation namely to take the decision within fractions of a second, if the target person simulated by the dummy has to be stopped or even has to be killed.
  • the situation cannot be simulated, that sets in when the target person simulated by the dummy is hit and on that account changes her behavior thus reacts especially aggressive or panic-fueled.
  • It cannot be simulated that the person wounded by a bad hit might cause greater damages or personal injury than might have possibly happened before the hit.
  • This highly dynamic and emotionally very much charged situation for all parties involved - including the sniper - can hardly be trained with a dummy just driving around.
  • the dummy depicting at least one part of the human body comprises a plurality of sensors, which communicate with a sensor data evaluating apparatus for the registration of the sensors' data, provided that the sensor data evaluating apparatus determines by mathematical correlation of points in time of a maximum pressure (from) sensor data of the plurality of sensors the point of entry and the trajectory of a projectile penetrating the dummy. Further advantageous configurations are specified with in the sub-claims of claim 1.
  • the sensors of the dummy permit an evaluation of the hit and by using a model permit conclusions about which activities the target person can still perform after the concrete hit.
  • sensors shall measure a pressure pulse within the dummy and determine the maximum of the pressure pulse with a high resolution in terms of time in the range of microseconds or depending on the condition of the signal they shall determine the point in time of the first maximum of the pressure pulse. From the known three-dimensional location of the sensor and from the determined time, the point of entry on the dummy and, with a sufficient number of sensors, even the trajectory of the projectile can be determined.
  • the dummy will be hit and penetrated by a plurality of projectiles.
  • sensors can be hit as well.
  • the plurality of sensors is even communicating wirelessly with the sensor data evaluating apparatus, like for instance by active or passive RFID transponder or communicate by a generic near field communication with the sensor data evaluating apparatus, like for instance by infrared communication or by radio communication. It is provided for, that for infrared- or radio communication or for communication by active transponder, the individual sensor has its own battery in form of a flat button cell.
  • the combination of sensor and transponder comprises a piezo element.
  • This pressure wave can be utilized by the piezo element as a short impulse of energy to charge a capacitor containing just enough energy to send out its own identification code at the maximum of the pressure pulse.
  • the sent identification code is thereafter received by a receiver within the dummy and the exact time is determined. In this way, the receiver collects a number of RFID identifiers in a very short time with a registered point in time each, whereby the various pairs of individual RFID identifier and individual point in time are suitable for the characterization of the hit.
  • the sensors are sticking in the exterior skin of the dummy. Thereby the sensors shall show as little surface as possible to a projectile.
  • the sensors are essentially designed flat or disk-shaped and are aligned radially in relation of the body axis of the dummy depicting at least one part of the human body, which implies are sticking with the small silhouette in a wall of the exterior skin of the dummy, whereby sensors identical among each other are preconfigured by color and shape for an easy exchange, so that a preconfigured sensor is only applicable at a point of the dummy pre-determined for the pre-configured sensor.
  • the sensors are put in slots and only show their smallest silhouette to the outside. Principally it is sufficient for a three-dimensional determination of the point of entry and the trajectory, if there are only three sensors within a small area of the dummy surface, within which the different sensors are located nearly the same level. From the data of the three sensors, the point of entry can be determined precisely within the local level. If four sensors are employed, it is also possible depending on the placement of the sensors, to deduce an approximate trajectory of the projectile. For the placement of the sensors it is helpful, if each location for placement has a predetermined form of an insertion slot and is preferably color-marked.
  • RFID identification codes are deposited correspondingly, whereby the three-dimensional location of each RFID type, identifiable by the code, is deposited in the apparatus.
  • the quality of determination of the point of entry and the trajectory is connected to some insurmountable obstacles with a complex geometric figure in the shape of a human torso.
  • the expansion of the three-dimensional pressure wave follows the shape of the dummy.
  • the sensors being far apart from each other and being arranged for instance at the head and the abdomen of the dummy, it is not sufficient for the determination of the exact point of entry and trajectory to assume linear runtimes for the pressure wave.
  • the pressure wave is reflected repeatedly in the interior of the dummy and so pressure wave echos of different orders (rise by one order per reflexion) form, whereby it becomes difficult to filter the pressure maximum significant for the evaluation from the pressure wave maxima and echoes.
  • the dummy is filled with a gel.
  • the gel preferably with the consistency of paste-like lubricating grease or the consistency of undissolved soft soap, brings several benefits. First the absorption of kinetic energy from the projectile by the dummy is relatively high. In case the sensors a supplied with energy only by a piezo element, the gel filling results in a high energy transfer.
  • the high energy transfer also results in a reliable detection of a hit to distinguish this way for instance a hit by a projectile from a violent collision of the dummy with another dummy or an obstacle.
  • the gel with the said consistency acts highly dampening and helps to mask transversal waves against longitudinal waves. Since transversal waves have a different propagation speed within a three-dimensional medium than longitudinal waves, a dispersion of the pressure wave occurs within an undampened medium, like for instance air without gel filling, which complicates the signal evaluation. For like with a lightning during a thunderstorm, the dispersion leads to a signal with several pressure maxima in succession, which reach the detector repeatedly as pressure maximum, similar to an atmospheric thunder.
  • the gel filling leads to a density of the dummy that is similar to that of an actual human.
  • the mechanical effect of the kinetic energy transfer to the dummy appears more real during observed events.
  • the projectile sound of the hit is similar as with a real hit.
  • the gel has the tendency to close itself after a hit. That way, the dummy can be hit several times without losing its function.
  • the gel can consist of grease, of a soft wax that has been further softened with a solvent where appropriate, of soft soap but also of an acrylate gel or of gelatin.
  • weakly crosslinked organic polymers welled in water are possible as gel filling as well.
  • the condition of the outer skin of the dummy has an influence on the measuring result of the sensors and the apparatus for the evaluation of the sensor data belonging to it. Besides, the condition of the outer skin of the dummy has an influence on the duration of the life cycle of the dummy. It would be ideal, if the dummy would close itself completely again after a hit. One can get close to this goal, by having the outer skin consist of polyurethane foam, which is compacted at the surface to a leathery or rubbery consistency and shows the hardness between soft rubber and hard rubber.
  • the dummy itself is consists of polyurethane foam, which is compacted at the outer surface so that the surface has a rubbery to leathery quality, whereby the locations for the placement of the sensors are buttonhole-like slots in the outer surface of the dummy, whose inner forms correspond to the outer form of a pre-configured sensor, whereby the buttonhole-like slots have preferably a color marking.
  • the polyurethane foam is penetrated by the projectile and the leathery to rubbery skin, which covers the foam, seems to close itself after entry of the projectile. Actually however, the polyurethane foam is severed at the location of entry but the foam underneath the leathery to rubbery skin will be mechanically closed again by the elastic foam.
  • an arm of the dummy depicting at least one part of the human body comprises a fixture for the mounting of objects, like for example a dummy weapon, approximately in the area of the hand mounted to the arm whereby the fixture for the mounting of objects can drop an object picked up before by remote triggering, whereby the fixture for the mounting of objects can be controlled remotely. So it is provided, that the arm of the dummy can hold a weapon in the hand or can carry a weapon in the crook of the arm.
  • the dummy shall not only be able to hold or drop a dummy weapon.
  • an arm of the dummy depicting at least one part of the human body is movable motor driven, whereby the drive can be controlled remotely. Due to the raised arm an aiming by the dummy on the sniper can be simulated.
  • the drive of the arm takes damage by firing at the dummy with projectiles, it can be provided for that the arm is driven by a rod gearing mechanism or by a rope pull from underneath the dummy shaped as a torso.
  • an additional difficult situation for the sniper can be simulated with a further embodiment of the invention, that is to say when the target person represented by the dummy abuses a hostage as a human shield.
  • an additional, second dummy depicting at least one part of the human body in the simplest case in form of a silhouette target, is positioned related to the first dummy behind or in front of the first dummy on the movable target, which for instance is movable motor driven by a lever or by a scissor gear, so that the first and the second dummy can either overlap or be positioned offset to each other whereby the drive can be controlled remotely.
  • the dummy can be mounted on an armored small vehicle, be moved on two robotic legs running autonomously or be set on two wheels arranged on one axle (single-axle vehicle), whereby an electronic straightening apparatus keeps the dummy always in balance.
  • the apparatus for unbound movement across a terrain is a three- or four-wheeled, armored small vehicle, an armored vehicle (single-axle vehicle) with two wheels arranged parallel on one axle with a straightening apparatus or an apparatus resembling two human legs, whereby the apparatus with the two legs performs humanoid motion for movement.
  • the different drives have different advantages and disadvantages. It is advantageous with the armored small vehicle driving on three or four wheels, that it can hold a battery with a high charge and needs comparatively little energy for movement. However, such a dummy is not very maneuverable afield and cannot drive over small obstacles easily anymore. In closed buildings such a small vehicle is not maneuverable enough.
  • the autonomous, robotic legs are extremely all-terrain and there are controllers in existence already, that are able to move such robotic legs almost as fast as the real human and to move almost as stable.
  • this technology is still very expensive and vulnerable and hard to armor, so that ricochets or unwanted hits in the leg section of the dummy could destroy the dummy.
  • the single-axle vehicle is possible as a drive, which is very maneuverable and needs little space. It is disadvantageous with this drive that the dummy sways back and forth when turning, which leads to an unnatural movement pattern of the dummy.
  • a control unit present with the within the target controls the unbound movement across a terrain, and/or the arm of the dummy, and or the fixture for the mounting of objects, whereby the control unit disposes of a pre-set repertoire of motion patterns, which externally conform to the body language of typical emotions during a combat situation, like for instance a resting position to remain unrecognized, panic, aggression or flight, whereby the control unit is connected to additional, movable targets wirelessly through a central command device (client-server) or directly (peer-to-peer), whereby in case of a hit by a projectile with predetermined parameters, like for instance a computed lethal shot, a computed man-stopping shot, a computed shot lethal with delay, the central control unit communicates the result of its own computations to the additional movable targets identical or similar in construction, based on which the additional movable targets show a changed motion pattern.

  • peer-to-peer directly
  • a movable target 10 from the state-of-the-art is displayed, which is taking its path from left to right as a metal- or cardboard target with a silhouette of a human and in doing so can fold up from the back or can fall down to the back.
  • this kind of movable targets are predictable, boring and offer a surprise effect only by folding up and falling down to the back.
  • a movable target 11 from the state-of-the-art is displayed, which is mounted as a three-dimensional torso 12 on an armored small vehicle.
  • the armored small vehicle 13 is remotely controllable and is controlled by a central computer that can also control complex patterns of movement with a dynamic adjustment to external events with an appropriate program.
  • the torso 12 has sensors not shown here, which can detect a hit qualitatively, if it was a hit or not. The kind of hit cannot be analyzed in real time or close to real time.
  • Figure 3 eventually shows a first design variant of a movable target 100 according to the invention, which is structured as well as a torso 102 with a head 108 placed on top mounted on an armored small vehicle 113.
  • the mounted torso 102 exhibits a movable right arm 103 holding a dummy weapon 104 with the hand.
  • this movable target can simulate an attack by a target person, to which the sniper has to react adequately.
  • the arm 103 can shoot up to simulate a surrendering target person.
  • sensors 105 in the face area and sensors 106 in the chest area of the torso 102 which are outlined here as a grid 107 for clarification of the geometric cross-linking between them.
  • sensors 105 and 106 which detect primarily a pressure pulse of a pressure wave, the point of entry and when applicable the trajectory of the projectile hitting the movable target 100 are determined.
  • the number of sensors 105, 106 can be 3 to 4 but also 10 or 20 and more depending on the demanded precision of the analysis of the point of entry and the trajectory. The more sensors 105, 106 are installed, the shorter is the life cycle of the dummy 101 due to a probable hit by a projectile.
  • FIG 4 exemplary positions of sensors within the dummy 101 consisting of torso 102 and head 108 are displayed, into which sensors 120, 121, 122 and 123 individualized by their form and color scheme can be inserted. It is provided for, that sensors of a predetermined type with a predetermined identification number can only be inserted into positively corresponding slots 130 like it is demonstrated in detail enlargement A. Thereby the sensors 120, 121, 122 and 123 can be battery-powered sensors, which are designed as active transponders. It is also possible, that the sensors 120, 121, 122 and 123 are equipped with an apparatus 140 for infrared communication and communicate by infrared impulse with the sensor data analyzing apparatus 140.
  • the sensors can also comprise an apparatus for radio communication by radio waves with the data analyzing apparatus 140, whereby a BlueTooth®-set-up would be possible for a protocol.
  • the sensors 120, 121, 122 and 123 comprise a piezo element 135, which absorbs the kinetic energy of a pressure wave entered by a projectile 200 into the dummy 101.
  • the piezo crystal converts the pressure pulse into a short voltage pulse that is sufficient to charge a condenser within the electronics of the sensor 120, 121, 122 and 123.
  • the stored electrical energy within the condenser will then be sufficient for a very short period of time, that the sensor 120, 121, 122 and 123 sends its identification number at the moment of measuring the pressure pulse.
  • This identification number will then be received by the data analyzing apparatus 140 and the precise time with a higher resolution than 1 ⁇ s together with the identification number, that has been allocated a three-dimensional location internally, will be stored temporarily in the data analyzing apparatus 140.
  • the placement of the sensors it should be at least four sensors, should be in a way that the preferred target regions of the human body are covered by a swarm of sensors belonging together.
  • the swarm belonging together has the capacity each to detect a pressure wave of the zeroth order (no reflection at a phase interface), before an echo by reflection of the pressure wave reaches the respective sensor again.
  • the sensors 120, 121, 122 and 123 are manufactured as flat disks and inserted radially into the torso 102 and the head 108. Because of the radial arrangement, the sensors manufactured as flat disks are rarely hit while under ordinary fire. Only in case of grazing shots, a sensor could be hit by a projectile. In this case, the sensor would have to be replaced by a new sensor with an identical identification number or with a known new identification number.
  • FIG 5 the sagittal section 150 through the dummy 101 consisting of torso 102 and head 108 is shown.
  • a dummy 101 cut open in this section plane presents the picture displayed in figure 6 when both dummy halves 150a and 150b are unfolded.
  • Torso 102 as well as head 108 has a side strength of approx. 3 cm to approx. 10 cm.
  • the side 160 of torso 102 and head 108 are made of polyurethane foam or foamed vinyl natural rubber that comprises a rubbery to leathery consistency in the form at the phase interface due to heat treatment during casting.
  • the phase interface of the dummy 101 has a side strength of approximately 0.3 mm to 1.5 mm.
  • the polyurethane foam or the vinyl natural rubber (here as exemplary, elastic foams) is developed by appropriate softening agents as a rather tough and elastic foam material.
  • the dummy 101 in special version is filled with a gel 170 that has the consistency of paste-like lubricating grease or the consistency of undissolved soft soap.
  • the gel can actually also consist of industrial mineral grease, actually of soft soap, of acrylate gel welled in water or of weakly crosslinked organic polymers welled in water or solvents when appropriate.
  • soft wax is suitable when softened with solvents, mineral grease or oil.
  • the gel filling leads to a higher energy intake of the dummy 101 from the projectile, permits a more precise detection of the pressure wave by the sensors, permits the masking of transversal waves and longitudinal waves, leads to a stronger dampening of the pressure wave and also leads to a more realistic picture of the movement of the dummy 101 when hit by the projectile. Finally the sound of the hit becomes more realistic.
  • detail enlargement A it is shown, how a sensor 120 sticks in a slot within the side of the dummy 101 assembled from torso 102 and head 108. Thereby the sensor 120 has been absorbed into the tough and elastic foam material of the dummy 101.

  • a pressure wave 210 expands at the piercing by projectile 200, which expands circular in the direction of the arrow (the directions of the arrows indicate two radial directions in relation to the projectile trajectory).
  • the pressure wave 210 around the trajectory of the projectile 200 moving along forms a cone around the trajectory probably determined by the ballistics of the projectile and probably bent as well and hits the different sensors 120, 121, 122, 123 at different times.
  • the sensor 120 sends a signal to a data analyzing apparatus 140. From the different points in time when the pressure wave 210 is detected at the different sensors 120, 121, 122, 123 with known set-up and therefore known location, the point of entry can be determined by triangulation within the data analyzing apparatus 140.
  • the point of entry T ⁇ can be found because there is just one location T ⁇ where the equation (1) is satisfied.
  • the respective directional component of the unit vector ⁇ ⁇ has to be varied for each incidence within the equation. This still simple process is suitable for the detection of a vertical hit on a flat location of the dummy neighboring to the sensors S 1 , S 2 and S 3 .
  • the pressure wave cone around the projectile changes with the direction of the trajectory: To compute the location of an oblique point of entry correctly, sensor data of further sensors are necessary.
  • the geometric form and the alignment of the pressure wave cone has to be observed, which depending on the angle of the point of entry at an identic location can lead to different chronological sequences of the impact of the pressure wave at one sensor each. If there is a plurality of sensor data, the location of the point of entry and the trajectory can be computed under the assumption of a linear expansion of the projectile within the dummy. Depending on the complexity of the calculation model it is even possible, like with the evaluation of the signals of an echo sounder for a structural survey of the ocean floor, to determine precise data on the point of entry of the projectile, direction of trajectory of the projectile and with the corresponding cost even the alignment of the projectile, when the projectile precesses during impact or ricochets.

  • a sensor data analyzing apparatus 301 is on board.
  • the dummy 101 consisting of torso 102 and head 108 is displayed as a movable target 100' on autonomously running robotic legs 400, whereby the dummy comprises a movable right arm 103 holding a dummy weapon 104.
  • the advantage of this version of the movable target is the extreme manoeuverability and cross-country capability.
  • the disadvantage of the use of this technology is the still quite high vulnerability of such robotic legs 400, which can easily be damaged during exercises including fire exercises. Although armoring is possible, it decreases the agility of the robotic legs.
  • FIG 9 an example of the dummy 101 is displayed on a single-axle vehicle 500 as movable target 100", whereby the dummy comprises a movable right arm 103 holding a dummy weapon 104.
  • the single-axle vehicle 500 has got a straightening apparatus not described in more detail and with this keeps the dummy 101 consisting of torso 102 and head 108 always in balance.
  • Such vehicles are readily available on the registration date of this registration and these single-axle vehicles 500 comprise a very high manoeuverablility, which makes a single-axle vehicle useable in urban warfare situations as well.
  • the disadvantage is an unnatural swaying movement of the dummy 101 in case of sudden direction changes of the single-axle vehicle 500.
